The Oxford Martin School was founded in June 2005 as the James Martin 21st Century School at the University of Oxford in Oxford, England. ==Overview== The institution is named after its benefactor, James Martin, author of the books ''The Wired Society'' and ''The Meaning of the 21st Century''.〔Martin, James, ''The Meaning of the 21st Century''. ISBN 1573223239.〕 The School's Director, Professor Ian Goldin, took up his position in September 2006.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Former Vice President of the World Bank heads James Martin 21st Century School )〕 A key aim of the School is to mitigate the most pressing risks and realise exciting new opportunities of the 21st century. With interdisciplinary teams of researchers from across the university, the School is working on the frontiers of knowledge in four broad areas: health and medicine; energy and environment; technology and society; and ethics and governance.〔(Key research themes ), Oxford Martin School.〕 Aiming to have an impact beyond academia, the School also develops wide-ranging initiatives, intellectual programmes and public events to engage with national and international policymakers, business, students and the general public. In 2010, the School announced the successful outcome of a $100 million matched funding scheme〔($100 million raised for ground-breaking research ), Oxford Martin School, 2010.〕 that saw the number of research programmes in the School more than double. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Oxford Martin School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
